If you want to show text on the display you need to include a font file in the BASCOM program. There are several fonts available like a 8x8 font and a 16x16 font, but the font file consume memory, the larger the font file the larger the program becomes. You can also create your own font, there are applications on the web to create your own fonts. To show a picture on the display you need to include a picture file, they also consume a lot of space in the microcontroller memory.
